Yeah I sold the GW's a few weeks back. I grabbed the Alumastars too because I think they will look cool with the backs at the track. They are a lot lighter for the track too.

i think you may have the MT 1573 fronts. they look like 26", and the 1574's are 28".

Correct, sorry I was tired when I typed that last night. I should have just checked instead of trying to remember the part number off the top of my head haha. That's what working at a Speed Shop gets you...mixed up. lol
